Xiaoting :) Thursday, July 19, 2012  Please refer to Yu Jia's posts for important updates. :) Things to be handed up tomorrow:
Rest well and sleep early tonight, so that we can all look nice in the photos. :D
Jiayou for NDP rehearsal tomorrow! RVGG fighting! ^^ Xiu Ting Updates and Announcements
Hello Guides :) For the photo-taking tomorrow, please be in your full uniform (with Beret and Lanyard). For the 7 Bird Patrols, you should already have your new patrol emblems by now. Sew it on your full uniform and wear it tomorrow. If you have your old one because you cannot find a replacement, wear your old patrol emblem tomorrow. For Ixora and Orchid, you will be getting your new patrol emblems soon. Meanwhile, for tomorrow, you will not be required to wear a patrol emblem with your full uniform, even if you have your old one. After photo-taking tomorrow, Y1s will have to change back to their PE+Blue Skirt, while Y2s and Y3s will be in their full uniform for the whole act. Please do ask ASAP if you have any questions; I will do my best to clarify it. Here is an important message from Ms Loh. To all guides: Please note that for ALL interest badges you are completing, you should be assessed by a qualified adult. Parents, guiders and teachers can be testers. In the event that you are finding an expert who is not related to you e.g your piano teacher for Minstrel badge, please state the teacher's relationship with you so that it is easier for me to identify who the person is because I need to check the validity. It is not fair for your learning if you find any random person to pass you because you may not have learnt for the skills stated in the clauses and it defeats the whole purpose of getting an interest badge. Please get the tester to write comments down as well instead of just ticking because you ought to know your areas of strengths and weaknesses from the activities. If not, you'll never improve. Next, please DO NOT approach any testers only when the deadline is near because they can be busy. A deadline is given to you so that you can complete the badges beforehand and not last minute. It is not fair to the testers. To clarify Accident Prevention Badge, only Year 2s are to be tested by me. The other levels can approach me or other testers. As for first-aid badge, as long as what you've learnt fulfills the clauses stated in the badge, I can sign the badge. I wish to say again that I hope that you will be able to learn new skills and knowledge as you attempt completing the other interest badges. Ms Loh Guides, do take what our Guider has said seriously. I believe we are Guides of standard and integrity, so let's uphold it :) Reminder again to clarify any questions you might have ASAP. See you tomorrow! Yujia ^^ Monday, July 16, 2012  Remember to bring along your cookie list and the collected money tomorrow. We will be collecting them after act. For the interest badges (Homemaker, Accident Prevention etc), note that they are due this Friday. Hand in the completed template to the TCs. Xiu Ting Updates on West Division Day + International Day!

Wednesday, July 11, 2012 Hello Guides, here are updates on recent announcements! Here is the complete information for the 2 International Camps announced recently (Camp 4G and Australian Jamboree.) There will be no subsidy from the school, unfortunately, as it is a Guides HQ-based event. However, I would still encourage you to go for this camp as this opportunity does not come often, and it is a good chance to learn from Guides of other countries and exchange cultures! I believe it will be an unforgettable experience. :)
Monday, July 9, 2012  To all: Do take note that there wouldn't be any CCA this friday due to AYLC. Xiu Ting Flow of the NDP Parade
Sunday, July 8, 2012 To all the Year 2s and 3s involved in the NDP Parade, this is the flow of events that will take place during the parade. Please read through and be familiarized with it. Those in red are some feedback given by seniors of other UG, so please take note of it. It is quite long, but these are all crucial information for the parade, so please read through carefully. FORM UP The form up should start at the corner of the field, with the people at the third row aligned to the white line as that row would be marching on the line itself. *Throughout the whole parade, even if it is a rehearsal, please stand up straight and look confident. Do NOT slouch as it looks as 'zombiefied', as though everyone's dying. Try to look more alert and more 精神, it will really make a difference :) MARCH IN DO NOT start right after the command. Wait for the snare drum. It will sound like 'drrrdrrrdrrr, drrrdrrrdrrr, dak' at the 'dak' then we can start marching in. Just look straight, heads up, chest out, and march. But the people at the front and back, please take note and mark the positions. When we reach the point, start to hantak until the double beat is given. When you hear the double beat, which is 'dumdum, dumdum, dum, dum, dum', only TURN TO YOUR RIGHT at the LAST 'dum', which is the one in blue. *At the start of the march in, march slower for SJAB to catch up. There have been feedbacks that the holes between the two contingents are too large. After the double beat, there would be 'Ke dalam lutlus'. The timing is 'up check', and please take note that you DO NOT have to raise your hands, just tilt your heads. The right most column, please tilt your heads too to align to SJAB. If the spacing is too huge, move accordingly. *When you adjust to align, DO NOT take small steps. In this case, shuffle your feet. Take note: shuffling of feet is only for ke dalam lutlus. DO NOT shuffle when marching. NATIONAL ANTHEM Next, the flag party for the Singapore flag would fold the flag and it'll be raised during the National Anthem. During this period of time, the contingent just has to sing the National Anthem. You DO NOT have to salute. *Continue looking straight, look confident :) NATIONAL DAY MESSAGE + RECOLLECTIONS After the National Anthem, a command would be given for senangdiri. Please remember to lift your left leg up for senangdiri, instead of the normal shifting of left foot. The nationalday message would be read out, followed by the recollections. Please respond loudly. But take note to lower the pitch when shouting or it will sound sharp, which is quite unpleasant. RECAP: First response: They had no rights, they had no say, And they longed to be free one day. Second response: Our happiness was not to be Until our country could be free. Third response: We pledge to keep our nation free With justice and equality. NDP SONG Afterwhich, you will still be in senangdiri position and we will sing 'My People My Home'. For this, please also remember to SING LOUDLY :) *Continue look up, look smart :) 任何一刻都不能松懈 ^^ RECAP: Link for video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5QkK4Cd59Y Lyrics: My People, My Home Who are you, my country? More than celebrations and tears More than memories put together Or the summing up of years I see you enduring all weathers Sunshine and storms at your heart In your face the lines ever changing Tell the story where I have a part [Chorus] You, My people, My home Our lives defend and uphold May the good we achieve as one nation Be shared with the world As a new chapter begins From where we have come thus far Once again may it be written You are who we are In you may we see ourselves Your needs your strength in us That the work for freedom and peace Is mine as much as ours[Chorus] x2 You, My people, My home Our lives defend and uphold May the good we achieve as one nation Be shared with the world May the good we achieve as one nation Be shared with the world NATIONAL PLEDGE After 'My People My Home', the command for sedia would be given. Next up would be the pledge. Please listen out for the command and also take note that the timing would be 'one check one' and please start to raise your fist to place it over your chest at the 'one' which is in blue. After the recitation of the pledge, DO NOT put your hand down immediately. Another command would be given and the timing would be 'check cut'. Please jerk your hand down at cut. After the pledge would be the morning annoucements (if any). *During the announcements, continue looking confident :) Stand up straight, dont slouch. MARCH OFF A command would be given for everyone to turn right. The command would end with 'ke kanan pusing', so please be alert and take note. Its the normal Ke kanan pusing, but no timing would be given, so please stay alert and turn accordingly. After that, the starting drum roll would be given again but DO NOT MOVE. It will be for the contigent commanders and flag party. So if you see me move, please STAY PUT. After that, there would be a second drum roll, but STAY PUT. It'll be for NCC and NPCC to start marching off, and only at the THIRD drum roll, we will march off together with the Scouts/Ventures and SJAB. Belok: After marching forward, somewhere near where we started, there will be belok. Please remember that you are supposed to belok NINTY DEGREES at that EXACT spot, not anywhere near or anywhere far. There would be a second belok after that and the same rules apply. *While belok-ing, belok FAST, but after the belok, when its normal marching, take SMALL STEPS for the others behind to catch up. March past: When nearing the flagpoles, the command 'pandan kekanan pandang' would be given. Please tilt your heads up to face the flag and MARCH STRAIGHT. Your hands would continue swinging and DONT salute, just tilt your heads. At the other end, the command 'pandan kehadapan pandang' would be given and everyone is to tilt your heads back at the same time. There would be no timing, so please try to practise with each other more to synchronise. March back: After the march past, we would follow the tracks to go to the basketball court near the Entertainment Room (ER). And please take note that right before the ER, where we are supposed to turn, it is a BELOK, not any random turning. For this belok, the same rule applies. After which, we would all march in, infront of the ER and hantak until the double beat is given. For this double beat, you DO NOT have to turn. Just continue facing straight and bang AFTER the last 'dum'. *Throughout the WHOLE parade, look up, look smart, look confident :) Also, please remember that you are not to move to align during the parade EXCEPT when you're either marching or when the command 'Ke dalam lutlus' is given. Hence, when the command to align is given, please align PROPERLY, as that will be your alignment for the whole parade. And that will be the end of the parade. All these are hand-typed so apologies for any grammatical errors or spelling errors. Please really read through this and if there is any questions, feel free to ask me. It might get tiring but i'm sure we can all do it together, as River Valley Girl Guides :) Xiaoting^^ Saturday, July 7, 2012 Those who are holding on to the receipts for candlelight night, this is a reminder for you to pass it to Daphne on Monday morning, before morning assembly. Late submissions will not be counted. For the receipts, please paste them on a plain A4 sized paper and write your name + class on the paper :) Xiu Ting ^^ NDP

The recollections: First response: They had no rights, they had no say, And they longed to be free one day. Second response: Our happiness was not to be Until our country could be free. Third response: We pledge to keep our nation free With justice and equality. The link for 'My People, My Home' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5QkK4Cd59Y  Thursday, July 5, 2012  Hey Guides! A few announcements: For Year 1s: Remember to bring recycled materials, cloth/old t-shirt and your sewing kit for the meal bag making session tomorrow.
